For web developers
CSS viewport: 768 × 1024 CSS pixels in portrait, devicePixelRatio 2. CSS pixels equal points.
/* iPad mini 3, portrait */
@media (device-width: 768px) and (device-height: 1024px) and (-webkit-device-pixel-ratio: 2) {
/* styles for this screen size */
}/* needs <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, viewport-fit=cover"> */
.page { padding: env(safe-area-inset-top) env(safe-area-inset-right) env(safe-area-inset-bottom) env(safe-area-inset-left); }
/* this device's insets aren't measured yet */Safari's visible viewport is smaller than the screen because of the browser bars, so window.innerHeight is less than the height above until the bars collapse.
For iOS developers
- A 1 pt line is 2 pixels thick.
- A 44 pt tap target is 88 × 88 pixels.
- Assets: @2x.
